Divers save the ocean by diving with sharks and diving 20 meters deep in the dark at 11pm | News

Divers who support ocean conservation go to unusual lengths (or depths) to do so.

These are not marketing stunts or travel fantasies. It’s real-world experiences that drive entry into the Online SCUBA Travel Auction 2026 hosted by the Sea Save Foundation, featuring more than 60 carefully curated bucket-list dive travel packages from around the world.

This is not a conventional auction.

Experiences range from high-intensity shark dives and deep nighttime descents into the marine abyss to exploration of the Amazon rainforest and relaxing dive getaways in the Caribbean. What unites them is not the comfort level or the difficulty, but the purpose: each package contributes directly to ocean conservation efforts.

The auction brings together donated dive travel experiences that reflect the full spectrum of how divers interact with the ocean – from adrenaline-fueled encounters to slow, immersive time in warm, shallow seas. Donated only by the top names in the industry, these packages are the ultimate dream destinations for adventurers everywhere.

One hundred percent of proceeds support the Sea Save Foundation’s international work in ocean conservation, education and maritime policy.

“This shows how far divers are willing to go,” said Georgienne Bradley, founder and director of the Sea Save Foundation. “Some push boundaries. Some slow down. But they all show up – for conservation and adventure.”

The auction begins on February 19 at 11am Pacific / 2pm Eastern, with a dive package closing every three minutes.
